24-14.002 - Office, pay, appointment.¶
The office of public guardian is created in this county. The office of the public administrator is separated from the office of the district attorney and is made an appointive office pursuant to Government Code section 24011. The office of the public administrator and the office of the public guardian shall be filled by board appointment by resolution. The public guardian and public administrator shall not receive any compensation for services as such. The board of supervisors determines that it is in the best interests of the County to waive the requirements of Government Code section 24001 for appointment to the office of the public guardian and the office of the public administrator.
